Andrew Walton, Private, Captain Nathan Rowlie's Company, Lieutenant Colonel Timothy Robison's detachment of Hampshire County Militia, muster roll dated Garrison at Ticonderoga, February 25, 1777, enlisted January, 1777, enlistment to expire March 25, 1777; also same Company and detachment, entered service December 19, 1776, service 73 days at Ticonderoga, mileage home 180 miles allowed.
Andrew Walton, return of three and six months, men raised in Hampshire County from (late) Colonel Moseley's Regiment, by order of Brigader General Donderson, dated Hampshire County, October 26, 1780. Said Walton returned among men belonging to Captain Moseley's, Captain Kellog's and Lieutenant Sait's Company, engaged for town of Westfield, term three months.
Andrew Walton, of Massachusetts, served as a private in Stone's company, 12th Massachusetts Regiment, commanded by Colonel Samuel Brewer; enlisted June 16, 1778, to served eight months, discharged March 16, 1779.
Officers: Lieutenant William Stone was of Chester, Hampshire County.Samuel Brewer was the first in Fellows Regiment from May to December, 1775. Colonel John Fellows was commander 1st Birkshire Regiment at Siege of Boston. Colonel Samuel Brewer was Colonel of 2nd Regiment raised to reinforce the army at Ticonderoga 1776. Served there in 1777.
Andrew Walton of Chester, Massachusetts, we will call Andrew 1st. as many of the later generations were of the same name. From the vital Statistics of Chester, Massachusetts, in the Chester Center Cemetery Records and Gravestone Records, state that "Mr. Walton died of "Fits" the latter part of June, 1813, aged 80 years." Chester was the home of many of his descendants, his wife's name was Mary Bachelor and one of her grandchildren was named after her. Her father's name was probably William and one of his grandsons was named William Bachelor Walton.
The record of the death of Andrew Walton I was also verified by Marie Walton Himbaugh in the old family Bible of his daughter, Lydia Walton Brown, which is still in the family of her descendants.
From Chester Massachusetts, where we located our Revolutionary ancestor, Andrew Walton, and where his family was born, we find the second generation leaving their native state, as other Waltons had large land Grants in Eastern and Western New York.
The general spirit of unrest, that follows every war cloud, or precedes it, we find several of this second generation locating on the grant of the Holland Land Company in Batavia, New York, about 1812, where many of the later generations are still to be found, and it was from there Nathaniel Walton started his long pilgrimage to Wisconsin.
The town of Chester, now in Hampden County, was during the Revolutionary period, all known as Hampshire County. It was in a good agricultural district. This may have been the reason of the location of this family, as many of the later generations were tillers of the soil. And we may reasonably conclude that may have been the occupation of their first ancestor, who settled there. And they continued to reside there for many years and reared their family to manhood and womanhood, as here we find the record of their marriage, and the record of Andrew's death.
The 1st census taken in 1790, states that his family consisted of self and wife, three sons over 16 years of age, two sons under 16, and two daughter.
Let us look at some of the characteristics of the people of that time. In the early settlement of the town, a minister's lot containing 100 acres was laid out, and a plot of 8 acres for a meeting house, place, training field and burying place was laid out on the southern side. The meeting house was 45 x 40 feet, the posts 20 feet high. This building was used for religious meetings and town meetings, during warm weather, as they had no means of heating it. The building was not completed until 1773. The first minister was Reverend Aaron Bascom. The Scotch element wished a Presbyterian form of church government and the English a Congregational. It would seem, that as early as 1778, they had a committee of health and safety. It is related that at a town meeting it was voted that Captain (Dr.) Shepard may have his family inoculated in his house if he will give good obligations for his good behavior, and he may let others of the town as long as May 1st and no longer, that any person may have liberty to have small pox by inoculation the fall, at proper place as the town judge best.
The Coat of Arms of the English Waltons was a stone wall. The Motto, "Virtue is a strong wall."

The Battle of Lake George (William Johnson, who had recently been named the British agent to the Iroquois, arrived at the southern end of Lac du Saint Sacrement on 28 August 1755 and renamed it Lake George in honor of his sovereign, George II) was fought on September 8, 1755, in the north of the Province of New York. The battle was part of a campaign by the British to expel the French from North America in the French and Indian War.On one side were 1,500 French, Canadian, and Indian troops under the command of the Baron de Dieskau and on the other side 1,500 colonial troops under William Johnson (William Johnson was placed in command of a force of 3,500 Provincial troops from New England, New York, and New Jersey, for the expedition against Fort St. Frédéric) and 200 Mohawks led by a noted war chief, Hendrick Thevanoguin.
1756- Johnson was replaced as commander of the "Crown Point Expedition" by John Winslow, and once again a Provincial force moved on Crown Point. Upon reaching Fort William Henry they learned of General Montcalm's victory at Oswego (NY), and, fearing the appearance of a large French force in the Champlain Valley, the expedition proceeded no further.1757- Winslow's replacement, Daniel Webb, had no opportunity to move towards Crown Point, as Montcalm led a force from Fort St. Frédéric to capture and destroy Fort William Henry.

Notes:

From Byberry Waltons, Volume I, 1958, by Norman Walton Swayne, Pages 19, 20
SAMUEL WALTON , died probably 1758, son of 4 Daniel Waltons?ton & Mary Iamb of Byberry Twp, Phila. Co., Pa., married 12th mo 15th 1709 at Byberry Mtg, Marcy Waterman, daughter of Margaret. 10th June 1760 Marcy Waltor4 of Rockhill Twp, Phila. Co. filed in Bucks Co. a renunciation in the estate. of her husband Samuel, dated 2rxI Feb. 1758. In this she says Isaac is eldest son.~ Abington Mtg minutes of 12th mc 27th 1715 say Whereas Samuel Walton being guilty of divers gross actions, to ye great dishonor of God and great grief of his parents & friends, this meeting having Considered ye Scandle it hath brought upon truth, can do no less than give out their Testimony against hint.? Again 2nd mo 30th 1716, A testimony was given against Samuel Walton condemning his Vicious practices, And ordered to be published at our General meeting next Abbington and to be delivered to John Dunkin to be read at Byberry and Posted.? According to a Phila. deed book record March 17, 1716 Samuel Walton of Phila. Go. and wife Mary rec?d from Isaac Waterman six pounds for 25 pounds of old currency given to said Marcy by her mother Margaret when she was widow of John Jones, which said Isaac Waterman was obliged to pay by his marriage settlement settled upon him by her mother Margaret also his mother. The History of Byberry and Moreland says Samuel was disinherited by his father for disobedience to his mother, but inherited the estate of his brother Nathan, who died intestate,that Samuel settled near Quakertown, Bucks Co. and had four sons, Samuel, Benjamin, Abraham and Jacob, most of whom emigrated to the western country. Warren S. Ely, who wrote a Walton chapter for Ellwood Roberts? book on Richland Families, says Samuel Walton went to the Great Swamp district soon after 1719 and settled near the southern border of Richland, probably in Rockhill Twp, where he lived until his death. He names as sons the four above, with the exception of Samuel, and in addition Isaac, Jonathan, John and Enoch. However, the last three seem to be connected with Samuel by the 1789 will of 76 Jonathan Walton, which said they were eldest sons of Samuel. They obviously were so much younger than the other sons of 25 Samuel that Ely guesses they were by a 2nd wife. Apparently these three were not sons of 25 Samuel, but great grandsons, being sons of l84 Samuel son of 67 Abraham. It is supposed that Moses Walton, whose
marriage out in 1737 was tentatively condoned by Abington Mtg, was another son of 25 Samuel, both from time and locality, and from the fact that Samuel?s son Isaac had a son Moses, a name otherwise not known among the Waltons except for several descendants of the Moses first above. It seems a fair guess that a daughter of Samuel was Alice. Information from her will is under her. This probably is the Samuel who was warrantee in Bucks Co. Sep. 20, 1734 for 150 acres and Oct. 18, 1743 for 50 acres. It is possible the 1st and 3rd below were not children of Samuel, and likely there were others not found:

63 Alice d between 1806 and 1815 m 1st a Fairman, in 2nd 1727 George Phillips b 1706 d prob. ab 1756

64 Isaac m prob. 1736 Alice Davis

65 Moses d by 1764 m by 1737

66 Benjamin m Elizabeth

67 Abraham d between 1760 and 1766 and m Mary b ab 1719 d 1807
68 Jacob d before 1786 m 1st by 1746 Elizabeth d by 1756, m 2nd by 1756 Sarah
